Elmer Shoemaker


Photographer: Shoemaker
MT. Vernon, Ohio

Elmer Shoemaker
(Aug 1862 - 29 May 1925)

Elmer Shoemaker can be documented as a photographer from 1900 to 1921. He worked and lived in Ashland, OH, just 32 miles from Mount Vernon, OH.

Elmer Shoemaker is the likely photographer for the cabinet card at the left.

But there is also this possibility:
George M. Shoemaker
(1857 - )

Cincinnati, OH, city directories place G. M. Shoemaker as photographer from 1877 to 1888. Then he either leaves the state or dies for no confirmed documents after that have been found. No records have been found to indicate G M Shoemaker was ever in Mt. Vernon, OH.

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. Listed here are all the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY. This is a work in progress. For a look at the original postings go to LOST GALLERY.

New examples and additional information are always welcome. Any additional information will help narrow the time that these precious antiques were made. All submissions should be free of glare and shadows.

Do not crop. Leave a border around each card. The edges are sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.

Some examples on this page have been enhanced or restored for clarity and presentation here.

This page is free for educational and research purposes only but, as always, if the original owner of any of these examples objects to the use on this page, just let me know and they will be immediately removed.
